Lessons

Lessons is a flexible tool for adding content to your Sakai site.

  • With the Lessons tool, you can share all kinds of content with students, including web links, documents, videos, and links to assignments, tests/quizzes, and forums.
  • You can also create weekly subpages to organize your content, so students can find the week's materials and assignments all together in one place.

If you're teaching an online or hybrid course, it's important to use the Lessons tool to organize the content for each week of the course. (The Lessons tool can be useful for face-to-face courses as well.)

Lessons Student Projects (Student Pages)

This handout provides the steps to add Lessons to your course, add Student Pages to Lessons, and optionally, allow students (and instructors) to comment on Student Pages. The handout also reviews how to view student work and add your comments. Note: Both instructor and student comments are visible to all students, as are the student pages.

The handout provides students with step-by-step instructions for how to create your Student Page (and rename it), find and display a YouTube video, create and display a link to a web page, add text and headings to your Student Page, reorder items on your Student Page, find and display an image effectively, and add a link to a document.
